A salute to Joe D and his UConn work

[GemParty]

Our family podcast, Sliders & Curveballs, had the pleasure of speaking to Joe D this past Summer. We took a long ride down memory lane together, and he was the perfect guest to introduce my son to UConn’s championship history. Excited to see what’s next for Joe. He’s wrapping up his time with WTIC, this week.

Good luck and G-d speed to Joe D. Saw him a few times last season at the XL Center.

Personally, I always thought he was a pompous windbag who confused the Huskies' success with his own. I won't miss him one bit.

Don’t sugar coat it. Tell us how you really feel.

Obnoxious, self absorbed, incessant name dropper that enjoyed calling out Wayne Norman for any slight misstatement during a broadcast (Wayne was too much of a gentleman to return the slights, which he could have done on numerous occasions).

I guess we all know now what the D stands for.

Our focus was on the memories of title games. It was fun to hear the back stories to those special seasons.

Joe D threads on the-boneyard have been some of the most bizzarre threads I have ever seen. I always liked Joe, his voice is synonymous with UConn basketball and its success during the Jim Calhoun era. He would still be doing the games today if it wasn’t for WTIC not letting him out of his contract. Now that Joe D split with WTIC, maybe he will be doing UConn games again in the near future???

I hope so!

I agree.

No thank you

We all know that Joe has no qualms about going after someone else's job.

As a kid in 90's I was often only allowed to stay up to watch the first half of games. Always listened to the second half on my Sony Walkman™. Thought he did a damn fine job of bringing those games to life for me. Thanks Joe.

Honestly, my left nut could have been the voice of the Huskies given how wildly successful they were when he was doing radio. He wasn’t very good but he was ours.

Cudos for leaving WTIC and the DUMPSTER FIRE that station has become.
I always found Joe to be easily accessable and friendly both on and off the air.
Remember talking to him in Arizona when KW was MVP.
Listen to games with Crispino and Wayne and mute the TV now. They are doing a good job but our history is with J D.
